Happy Monday!

With a midweek day off and me away at a curriculum day, I feel like there are lots of Kindergarten updates!  Last week in the library Ms. Beth read the book Sophie's Squash.  A story of a girl named Sophie who names a squash Bernice after a trip to the farmer's market.  She brings the squash everywhere and refuses to let her mom cook it even after being warned that it will rot.  Ms. Beth brought two squashes into the library and Kindergarten students love to read to our squashes which they named Sophie and Bernice!

In math we have been working hard to write numerals.  This can often be frustrating for students but we have practiced writing our numbers in fun ways!  Today we listened to a number chant and practiced writing numerals in our math journals as we sang along. 

One of our favorite activities during Reader's Workshop has been letter lotto, or bingo.  Students love searching for the called letter and finding it on their bingo board.  This is also an excellent want to practice letter id, letter sounds and thinking of words that begin with that initial sound.
